Favorite archeo tours by video?

Quote

I'll have to set aside an afternoon or day to get through them all.  I did like the Pro Walk tours last year.

Only a few of these are long and atmospheric like those in https://www.youtube.com/c/ProWalks/playlists . Many are 30 minutes or even a punchy 10. One approach is to click on all the "watch later" symbols on these thumbnails so youtube makes it easy to navigate the list at leisure.

I suspect Prowalks may be a history teacher for the large US Navy base near Naples, lucky guy. He used to film a bit more intrusively, but with success and higher profile he films or edits gentlemanly to a fault now.

Short glimpses:

This is by far the best way to experience Diocletian's Palace, near dawn before it's multipurpose commercial uses overwhelm the place. Next maybe I will take a break from google's world of media, and search my CATV system for "rome" or "roman" or "ancient".

So hard to choose among very diverse videos of this villa in Sicily:

My spring visit to this forum was punctuated by an apocalyptic hailstorm where shelter was scarce,  exit paths went under water, and a grueling flu was hatched. "Science" insists you can't get infections from wet and cold, but after experiencing about a 98% correlation I can surmise bugs must always be in us waiting for weakness.

The only good video on Segovia aqueduct deserves more than it's current 7 likes!

You can now live in/on Theater of Marcellus:

Roman Nimes:

Thanks for sharing these.

Wow, here is Beit Shean in Israel, and for a longer unnarrated saunter see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v_e4-wJevI or for a shorter view of overall travel experience see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaVzbXXG0vk

Nero's Golden House:

Libya:

Algeria:

Whew, I hope that is it from me. Find more lesser-known sites in https://www.loveexploring.com/gallerylist/70876/roman-ruins-roman-sites-around-world . There are well known ones I am skipping over so far due to whim or weak videos...

Too many and not enough time! lol  Good ones I'm sure. Thanks.

Thanks; some may disappear like about a quarter of my "song" posting videos, so I try to finish viewing at least one a day. I tried to choose especially entertaining or artful examples and 1 per archeo site. It's too bad the thumbnails don't show what the runtime is. Others may want to add omitted sites like Trajan's market, Pantheon, Hadrian's wall, and others for which I didn't find charismatic videos (yet).

I was reminded the cost of putting off viewing things by my recent loss of 80 hours of DVR recordings due to an expired cable TV box. At least I had seen and deleted a Roman chariot racing series, which y'all might find in the "on demand" part of CaTV. But "Greek Odyssey" and "Aerial Greece" series was lost altho now rediscovered on youtube. I also lost 80+ episodes of the funniest sitcom Reno 911 which is still trickling out on channel Mtv2. Series is under revival but will probably be as terrible as their movie due to cancel culture trends, etc.

Jerash, Jordan ("Pompeii of the east"), and Rome's Pantheon:

Three minutes each in Sagalassos Turkey, Villa Oplontis Naples, Trajan's Market Rome:

(See various videos of this mountainous place under snow)

(The supposed connection to Poppaea merely being a pot fragment down the road had her name)

(Mary Beard wrote an article claiming this was wrongly reconstructed as a market under Mussolini)

Thanks.

Hippodromes were the supreme entertainment. Unlike amphitheaters, the racetracks in Rome and Constantinople (below) were actually integrated with the emperor's palace:

Part 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9rMbCocKBw

Part 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZuLZLXmP8Y

I watched all four videos - enjoyed them very much. Thanks for sharing. 

Prego Crispina. I think I will be adding mainly to the alternate list version of this at https://www.unrv.com/forum/topic/19385-list-version-favorite-archeo-tour-videos/ because it is in a more easy to find and maybe more proper location in the forum. Also it is easier to choose from or tell what is already there or what is missing. And easier to recover from vanishing videos; some content creators don't like being embedded and can withdraw permission for that.

Time will tell. It lacks some of the secondary info like those related 3 videos, but if you check before youtube advances to another video it should display related videos including new ones or popular ones. It annoys me when youtube or any videos autostart despite having autoplay turned off in youtube or in my browser. For the record, here is a nerdy way to tame Firefox into never being tricked into autoplay:

You can look at these prefs on the the about:config page to see what settings work for you to block autoplay.

    media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:allow;1:blockAudible;2:Prompt;5:blockAll]
    media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2
    media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages = false
    media.autoplay.block-event.enabled = true 

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

(It should add that you can bring up these options by searching "autoplay" within about:config and usually click them to toggle settings)
